Weddings.. weddings and weddings..

October 16, 2012 7:25am CST
Everybody seemed to be getting married. My friends, my workmate, my high school classmate, my cousin. Oh my God, and here am I getting bitter and bitter everyday. Lucky me, I don't have a BFF who would be wed soon or else. I'm looking cranky with all these huge happenings in their lives while I sit frantically waiting for Mr. Right. Becoming a spinster is not really a horrible thing but God knows, that's not a life I wanted. Whew.. it pains me to think attending all these weddings still a bridesmaid never the bride looking up to giddy couples. Grrr.. I wish it won't matter anymore if you are with somebody or not. To my dear mylotters, am I the only one feeling this? Hope to hear from you.

Don't get pressured over others getting married or even worry yourself if you're not getting married because you still haven't found Mr. Right. It all takes time, don't rush things when you think you found the right one for you because you're pressured with the idea "everybody's getting married and why you're not". Everything done in it's own beautiful time. Remember, haste makes waste... You can pray about it and just be ready. You don't want to live in regrets later so take time. Marriage is not something you need to rush as well as having a boyfriend. Also don't be afraid, if it's true love it'll prove it's true, you'll surely know. Wishing you the best.

I like what you said about everything is done in its own beautiful time, haste makes waste. Too bad, I felt that way. My relatives kept pressuring me when will I settle down, I'm not getting any younger and all those stuff about how wonderful family life can be. They just don't realize it's difficult to be in this oh so dynamic present world where only few people wanted to commit.

It's alright to feel that way especially you don't want to end up living alone. But it's not too late. Try to welcome someone in your life without hesitation. Some times we need to change our ways and actions regarding how to face a potential partner. Be friendly and warm. Being dry and seemingly formal is not a welcoming outlook. You have to spark for them to notice. It will encourage them to approach you if you have a friendly smile that plaster's in your face.

Thank you bembzee. I'll take your advice. Sometimes being sparky and kind of glossy is not my thing though, it will take me a lot of time to practice that. You are actually right with me hesitating on someone. Guess I just need to loosen myself up a bit.

Hello Lina! :) You are not alone on this one, I know. Though, I somehow feel the same way, just think that Mr Right will come when you are in good shape. And there's a saying that love happens when you least expect it... Who knows, you already met your future husband...you just didn't know know that he is just there... Oh well, it's not yet the end of the world, I know some people who are older than you, like 35 or more who is still single til now... Hope that they will also meet their Mr Right before the end of the world... Oh yeah, as for my experience, I do see my colleagues and friends who found their right ones. but there are also ones who just had children but no husbands...which is quite sad but I know, these people can be strong enough to handle such situations... Haven't found my right one yet, but there's prospects for me though... just not sure who it is... yeah, we are not getting any younger. So, we have to be ourselves and soon the right guy will come when we least expect it... I Think you should just enjoy yourself more, and stay confident, open yourself for improvement and soon that one will come!...

Oh, I'm already married so I don't feel what you feel right now. However, I felt something like that when I still didn't have my bf before. I thought that I'd never have one. I was already 19 turning 20 when I had my first bf and he eventually became my husband. Don't lose hope. Mr. Right will come at the right time. Enjoy being single for awhile. Your life will be different already when you're already married. You will prioritize your husband and kids and you'll barely have time for yourself. Goodluck.

Hi, I know how you feel but I do hope that bitterness you feel at present won't push to do something unnecessary like what I believe happened to a friend of mine. She married this guy she just met few months ago without her parents' blessings. I also heard that she loaned hundred of thousands just to have this huge wedding she dreams of. And now, it is payback time. Pray for it. I do believe God will give you what you hope for if you are persistent in praying for it. Hope your Mr. Right will come the soonest.
